Our soul shall magnify the Lord

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #285 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: Our soul shall magnify the Lord, In Him our spirit shall rejoice; Assembled here with sweet accord, Our hearts shall praise Him with our voice. Since He regards our low estate, And hears His handmaids when they pray, We humbly plead at Mercy's gate, Where none are ever turn'd away. The poor are His peculiar care, To them His promises are sure; His gifts the poor in spirit share: O may we always thus be poor! God of our hope, to Thee we bow, Thou art our refuge in distress; The Husband of the widow, Thou, The Father of the fatherless. May we the law of love fulfil, To bear each other's burdens here; Suffer, and do Thy righteous will, And walk in all Thy faith and fear. 305 Didst Thou not give Thy Son to die, For our transgressions, in our stead? And can Thy goodness aught deny To those for whom Thy Son hath bled? Then may our union, here begun, Endure for ever, firm and free; At Thy right-hand may we be one, One with each other, and with Thee. Topics: Female Friendly Society Languages: English

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #218 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: Our souls shall magnify the Lord, In God the Savior we rejoice: While we repeat the Virgin's song, May the same Spirit tune our voice! [The Highest saw her low estate, And mighty things his hand hath done: His overshadowing power and grace Makes her the mother of his Son. Let ev'ry nation call her blest, And endless years prolong her fame; But God alone must be ador'd: Holy and reverend is his name.] To those that fear and trust the Lord, His mercy stands for ever sure: From age to age his promise lives, And the performance is secure. He spake to Abram and his seed, In thee shall all the earth be blessed;" The memory of that ancient word Lay long in his eternal breast. But now no more shall Isr'el wait, No more the Gentiles lie forlorn: Lo, the desire of nations comes; Behold, the promised seed is born!
